Chapter 246: The sound of hooves in the gray mist

When he saw the words "Gaard", Leo's body was shocked, and his heart set off turbulent waves.

These three words are so familiar to him.

During his initial dream, he discovered manuscripts during the experiments of the alchemist Degu Lavin, and it was through these broken manuscripts that he first learned the name "Gaelde".

With mixed feelings, Leo continued to look at the contents of the scroll.

"Tree Chronicle, No. 392."

"The rebirth of [the central city of Gaeld, the sacred tree of Flvedia]!"

"After ten years, the pure-blood ceremony presided over by the Tower Sage Master Lucius was finally declared a success. The data shows that the 1,323 Sacred Tree Knights who performed the pure-blood ritual all showed strong resistance to [aberration] and were able to move freely in low-intensity distortion environments, and among them, 7 pure-blood Sacred Tree Knights showed stronger resistance and were able to ignore medium-intensity distortion environments. ”

"Thanks to the efforts of the team of Bachelor Luke, the originally cumbersome pure-blood ceremony can now be completed only by vaccination with the pure-blood vaccine, which is convenient and fast."

"From now on, all residents of the Holy Tree Flvideya will be able to go to the Central Medical Center for a pure-blooded vaccination ...... with their resident card."

"This is the new birth of the Holy Tree Flvidea!"

The yellowed scroll is not much in the first edition.

But after reading the content on it, Leo's heart froze.

Pure-blood ritual, a term he was no stranger to.

At one time, he also saw the pure-blood ritual as a way to get rid of the aberration.

But later, through the narration of Count Alexander, he learned the deep secret behind the pure-blood ceremony.

β€”β€”

"The principle of the pure-blood ritual is, in essence, to use the blood of the aberrant monster to replace part of its own blood...... In turn, they have the ability to act in distorted and polluted environments. ”

"But...... Once the pure-blood ritual begins, it means that you are actively thrown into the arms of aberration. All the pure-blood knights, from the moment they complete the pure-blood ceremony, are racing against time with their own lives, and all they want is to kill enough aberrant monsters before they are completely aberrant. ”

β€”β€”

In the past, the words of Count Alexander still echoed in his ears, but now, the information recorded in this "newspaper"-like scroll shows that the central city of Gelde, the holy tree of Flvidea, seems to have put all its chips on the "pure-blood ritual".

Leo couldn't imagine what the current Sacred Tree Florvedia would eventually become after undergoing the "Pure-Blood Ritual" for the whole people.

"Hoo ......"

With a slight exhale, Leo stretched out his hand and tried to flip the scroll to another page, but when his fingertips touched the scroll, the seemingly intact scroll suddenly shuddered, and then the whole copy turned into fine dust.

This!

Leo frowned slightly.

This level of decay means that the scroll has been left for at least a few decades, without any maintenance, and the degree of oxidation is very severe.

He looked at the bookshelf next to him, and found that most of the books on it were just ordinary paper books, and after checking them one by one, he withdrew his hand in disappointment.

No book can be carried out

After a careful search in the room, Leo found nothing else, and set his eyes on the exit of the tree hole.

That's where the shallow sunlight comes in.

The content of the "Tree Chronicle" let Leo know that the world he is in at the moment is the dream world - the central city of Gaelde, although it is strange why it belongs to the same dream world, the world of the Holy Tree Flvidea will be so strong than that of JΓΆr, but it is not to go to a strange world, overall, it is still more reassuring.

Speaking of which, before he accidentally got involved in the Moster continent, Leo wanted to go to this place the most.

According to Count Alexander, the central city of Gelder is the source of the aberration, and if there is any place where there is the best hope of completely solving the aberration, there is nowhere else but the sacred tree of Flvedia.

Following the narrow, winding walkway, Leo came to the exit of the tree hole, or rather, the entrance.

The tree hole has a door made of vines that pushes open from the inside out, and because the owner is in too haste, the door is not closed, and remains open outward.

Standing near the tree hole, after his eyes had adjusted to the much stronger light, Leo stepped out, and the magnificent scene that greeted him made his eyes appear a little shocked.

It was a tree, a huge tree.

The canopy of the tree, which rises into the clouds, is a magnificent golden color, but the branches from the roots to the middle and lower parts of the tree are strangely grayish, as if something started at the base of the tree and eroded it.

Leo's location was probably the outermost part of the sacred tree's root system, at least a hundred kilometers away from the trunk.

Outside the tree hole, there is a walkway made of concrete, and on both sides of the walkway, there are many small "rooms" that resemble the tree hole behind Leo.

The gaze is cast to the sky, similar to the sky of the city of JΓΆr, the sky above this place is obscured by a dense gray fog, and the sun is not visible, but from the light coming from the dense gray fog, it can be judged that the sun still exists, but it cannot show its head.

The block shrouded in gray fog is very quiet, the gray fog here is very unique, the magic vision and celestial perception cannot penetrate at all, only the "Eagle Eye" is enough to penetrate the gray fog to a certain extent, but beyond 100 meters, it becomes gray.

This phenomenon made Leo awe-inspiring, and the failure of magical vision and celestial perception caused his ability to perceive the outside world to a very low point.

At the same time, Leo suddenly attached importance to the skill of [Yoel Archery].

The gray fog that neither magical vision nor celestial perception could penetrate, but the Eagle's Eye could still see through it.

The archery skills he had acquired from the city of Joel were far from being as simple as he thought.

If you have the chance, practice Yoel's archery more and try to take it to the next level...... Leo thought to himself.

On both sides of the street, rattan street lamps hung light sources, not flames, but some kind of magic-powered luminous device.

Taking in the situation around him, Leo thought about it and decided to investigate the surrounding tree hollows first to see if he could find some useful information.

The streets were quiet, which made Leo's footsteps loud, even if they were deliberately lightened.

This world is unique, in addition to ultra-high gravity, there seems to be some kind of special prohibition that makes it difficult to fly, and the magic escapes very quickly after being released.

It's not impossible to force him to fly, Leo tried it, if he walks normally, the magic power consumed per second to resist super gravity is basically the same as the recovered magic power, then once he starts flying, the consumption rate of mana will increase more than ten times, even with his magic recovery speed, he can only fly for about ten seconds, and then he will fall because the magic power is exhausted.

The situation of sword intent is also similar to magic.

And in this dangerous world, it is extremely dangerous to let the magic or sword intent run out, so walking on two feet is the most cost-effective way to move.

The street is not wide, only a dozen meters, and soon, Leo came to the entrance of the tree hole opposite.

Subconsciously, Leo wanted to release the magic realm and the celestial realm to perceive, but in the next second, the realm that could only extend to three meters around him told him a cruel truth.

The realm of magic and the realm of heaven and man have lost their former power in this world.

Sighing, Leo put away the domain, the three-meter radius of the domain, and the magic power consumed more than ten times made him cancel the idea of using it to explore.

The suppression of this world is really too great.

Unlike the previous tree hole, the door of the tree hole in front of him was closed, and Leo observed it for a while, and finally decided to use the "physical door opening method".

The light-chasing long sword was unsheathed, and under the sharp blade, the rattan gate that looked very tough quickly turned into broken rattan scattered all over the place.

Behind the portal was a winding passage, and Leo took a brief look at it, and after making sure that there was no danger, he stepped in.

The structure of the tree hole was very similar, and around the corner of the narrow passage, Leo suddenly paused.

It was a very simple-looking tree hole, with simple furniture such as beds, wooden tables, wooden chairs, and cabinets, but it was not these things that made Leo's steps stagnant, but two thin figures leaning against each other in the dimly lit corner of the tree hole.

In terms of physique, it should be a husband and wife, they are wearing silky white robes of good material, and they should be the owners of this tree hole.

Dead tree hollows, figures snuggling up to each other, dark light......

Leo's expression gradually became solemn.

He tried to get closer, fifteen, thirteen, eleven...... At a time when the distance between the two sides was reduced to ten meters.

Suddenly, a sudden change occurred!

The seemingly sleeping snuggling figure burst out.

Their seemingly thin bodies were incredibly fast, and the pitch-black veins were clearly visible under their gray-white skin.

There was no flow of magic, no other supernatural elements, and the sleeping figure was only attacking with the power of pure flesh, but it was terrifying enough.

Under the environment of 100 times gravity, the speed displayed by the sleeping figure is no worse than the speed of a normal legendary professional.

Although the outbreak of the sleeping figure is sudden, and the level of the legendary body is really not low, but for Leo, it is nothing.

The light-chasing sword came out of its sheath, and with the cold sword light, the heads of the two sleeping figures flew high.

The body that had lost its head continued to run forward under the influence of kinetic energy, and finally fell to the ground, motionless.

With a flick of his wrist, he threw away the pitch-black blood stained with the sword, and returned the sword to its sheath, Leo turned around and looked at the two bodies that had fallen to the ground in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

Judging from the clothes, the identity of the owner of this tree hole, that is, the sleeping figures of this man and woman, should be just ordinary residents.

And just ordinary residents, the strength of the flesh has reached the level of legend! Although it is only a new legend, and this level of physical body is still extremely weak for Leo, but the existence at the lowest level in the entire region, or the "little monster", has the strength of the legend, so what is the strength of the knights of the Holy Tree Flvidea in the central city of Gald, that is, the Sacred Tree Knights recorded in the "Tree Chronicle", and even the Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knights who have performed pure-blood ceremonies? !

If the difficulty of the strategy of Yoel City is lv.1~lv.10, then the difficulty of the strategy of the holy tree Flvidea starts at 50, which is lower than the legend in layman's terms, and he is not even qualified to survive here.

After killing the two sleeping figures, the surging soul flew from its corpse and flowed into Leo's body.

At the same time, the hint of the character panel also came as scheduled.

β€”β€”

[Absorb the Soul of a Hero from [Sacred Tree Dweller] (1)*2......]

β€”β€”

A very brief reminder, two souls who have just entered the legend are simply not enough to make the slightest change in the brightness of Leo's soul fire that is now as high as 19.0.

According to Leo's estimates, it would take at least 100 Heroic Souls (1) to increase the brightness of his current Soul Fire by 0.01.

If it's in the Moster Continent, it's a fool's dream to increase the brightness of the soul fire by killing the legend.

Regardless of whether there are so many legends or not, once Leo dares to kill the legend so unscrupulously, it will definitely arouse everyone's hatred.

But in this world, it is still possible.

100 Legends is difficult, but with 100 Legendary Strength [Sacred Tree Dwellers], the difficulty is not much lower.

Although the brightness of the 0.01 soul fire increased very little, Leo did not dislike it at all.

Seeing that the area of the Sacred Tree Flvidea is ridiculously difficult, it is good to be able to improve a little bit of strength before delving into the source of the distortion and finding a way out, even if it is only a little insignificant.

The corpses of the inhabitants of the sacred tree quickly dissipated into ashes, leaving nothing behind, and after searching for nothing useful in the library, Leo followed the path he had taken to exit the hollow.

Standing on the street, there was a dense gray mist in the distance, and just as Leo was about to go to the next tree hole, suddenly, in the distance, there was a clear sound of horses' hooves, mixed with the sound of bells ringing.

Something is coming!

Leo was shocked, but he didn't hide.

After losing the blessing of the [High Aberration Body], his strength was greatly weakened, but in the case of using the power of transcendence, his comprehensive strength also had the level of a demigod-level mid-level, and those who burned their souls desperately could even reach the demigod high level.

Although the Sacred Tree Flvedea can be said to be legendary, Leo thinks that the strength of the demigod-level should not be "inferior to a dog".

If he hid at the first danger, he wouldn't have to think about going deep into the sacred tree.

As if sensing something, the sound of horses' hooves quickened, and the crisp sound of bells became faster, and with the churning of gray fog in the distance, a burly figure rushing out of it.

It was a knight in majestic and delicate armor, he wore a pointed helmet, the top of which had a simple three-pronged shape, which seemed to symbolize the shape of a "sacred tree", and the green and silver armor was etched with dense lines, giving people an incomparably solid feeling.

The knight's crotch is stronger than a normal horse, and the saddle, armor, and even the horse's face are covered with green and silver armor, spraying out of the horse's nose with blood-colored gas, causing the knight to gallop and drag out a terrifying shadow mixed with white mist and blood mist behind him.
